Promenade island victory forests of arrayanes - Beautiful family adventure, water with its different nuances because of the thaw, the flora of the forests of arrayans and the culmination on beautiful Victoria Island. Dazzling landscapes with excellent attention from guides.

Not to be missed in Bariloche - We were 4 adults and we had a great time. There is little walking and you can enjoy the landscape from the Catamaran and then on land. Victoria Island has hiking trails and El Toro Beach is very beautiful! It's worth visiting

Was fun! - Was a nice way to see some more of Patagonia if you're staying in Bariloche. The trees were pretty and the ferry was nice. I got pretty confused with which ferry to take, but it all worked out in the end. The Arrayanes Forrest was pretty, but Victoria Island was my favorite part of the day.

Not worth it - The navigation is nice although very long and the destination is not worth it. The forest almost without myrtles with a tea house that looks like a horror house. And on the unmaintained Victoria Island, on the beach there is a half-destroyed and abandoned cafeteria, and the candy store that is operating is almost the same as the previous one. Don't waste your time or money on this excursion

Disappointment.. - The truth is, ugly, a forgotten place, without maintenance, the tea house is disgusting, nothing like what one imagines, you enter the tea house, like a neighborhood store. Very, very abandoned everything.

False advertisement; big dissappointment! - The experience we received, while somewhat enjoyable was nothing like what was advertised/what we ordered. We registered for a 10am trip including 2 hours with an English speaking guide. We received tix to a 2pm boat trip with no English. It was also advertised as a small group tour and ended up about 250 people. Very disappointed. WOULD NOT REVOMMEND! Save your money. The scenery from the boat was pretty, but you can see similar views elsewhere in Bariloche. And the trees can also be found around Bariloche; no need to go to the island/forest.

Poor value - TRIP WAS INTERESTING but the cost was double that of buying direct from Turi Sur and the ‘tour’ offered no additional benefits. There was a suggestion of hotel pickup which is not on offer. There is no representative from Greyline. Vicotira Island is intersting. The boat trip is quite long at three hours all up there and back. Take a cushion of you can.

Not worth it - Going to Victoria Island is to be recommended, but I don’t think this tour offers value, or indeed anything much. You can buy tickets from TuriSur for almost exactly half the price and this tour is a nothing. There is no representative, and despite a suggestion they will pick up from hotels in Bariloche that is not in reality offered. My view is that this is a scam for Tripadvisor clients to pay double the standard price The boat is fine but three hours is quite a long time to be travelling up and down the lake. If you can, bring a cushion, the seats are hard, but the boat does have a cafeteria.
